CAUTION

  1. Wear working clothing, including a cap, protective goggles, and protective shoes during operation.
  2. Remove contamination including dirt and corrosion before removal, installation, and disassembly.
  3. Keep the disassembled parts in order and protect them from dust or dirt.
  4. Until the oil pan is installed, do not place with the oil pan inside facing up to prevent foreign matter from entering the valve body.
  5. Before removal, installation or disassembly, be sure to clarify the failure. Avoid unnecessary removal, installation, disassembly and replacement.
  6. When disassembling the case and other light alloy parts, use a plastic hammer to open the case. Do not pry it apart with a screwdriver or other tool.
  7. Be careful not to burn your hands, because each part on the vehicle is hot after running.
  8. Use SUBARU genuine gear oil, grease etc. or the equivalent. Do not mix gear oil, grease etc. with that of another grade or from other manufacturers.
  9. Be sure to tighten bolts and nuts to the specified torque.
  10. Place shop jacks or safety stands at the specified points.
  11. Apply appropriate gear oil or ATF onto sliding or revolving surfaces before installation.
  12. Replace deformed or otherwise damaged snap rings with new ones.
  13. Before installing O-rings or oil seals, apply sufficient amount of ATF fluid to avoid damage and deformation.
  14. Be careful not to incorrectly install or fail to install O-rings, snap rings and other such parts.
  15. Before securing a part on a vise, place cushioning material such as wood blocks, aluminum plate, or shop cloth between the part and the vise.
  16. Avoid damaging the mating surface of the case.
  17. Before applying sealant, completely remove the old seal.

MEASUREMENT

Note. If the clutch or the brake shows a sign of slippage or shifting sensation is not correct, the line pressure should be checked.

  1. Excessive shocks during upshifting or shifting takes place at a higher point than under normal circumstances, may be due to the line pressure being too high.
  2. Slippage or inability to operate the vehicle may, in most cases, be due to loss of oil pressure for the operation of the clutch, brake or control valve. Line pressure measurement (under no load) Before measuring the line pressure, jack-up all wheels. Maintain the temperature of ATF at approx. 70 - 80°C (158 - 176°F) during measurement. (ATF will reach the above temperature after idling the engine for approx. 30 minutes with select lever in "N" or "P".) Line pressure measurement (under heavy load) Before measuring the line pressure, apply both foot and parking brakes with all wheels chocked (Same as for "stall" test conditions). Measure the line pressure when select lever is in "R", "2" with engine under stall conditions. Measure the line pressure within 5 seconds after shifting the select lever to each position. (If line pressure needs to be measured again, allow the engine to idle, and then stop it to cool down for at least one minute.) Maintain the temperature of ATF at approx. 70 - 80°C (158 - 176°F) during measurement (ATF will reach the above temperature after idling the engine for approx. 30 minutes with the select lever in "N" or "P".) Temporarily attach the ST to a suitable place in the driver's compartment, remove the blind plug located in front of the toe board and pass the hose of the ST to engine compartment. Remove the test plug and install the ST instead. Connect the ST1 with ST2.

ST 498897700 OIL PRESSURE ADAPTER SET ST 498575400 OIL PRESSURE GAUGE ASSY AWD mode: "D" range FWD mode: "P" range, engine speed 2,000 RPM NOTE: Before setting in FWD mode, install the spare fuse on FWD mode switch. NOTE: If oil pressure is not produced or if it does not change in the AWD mode, the transfer duty solenoid or transfer valve assembly may be malfunctioning. If oil pressure is produced in the FWD mode, the problem is similar to that in the AWD mode.
  2. VTD MODEL Check transfer clutch pressure using the following chart. Refer to «LINE PRESSURE TEST»(ref-208395-S40911946302005120700000) .
